San Benito Greyhound sophomore wideout Armando Medrano is seen during 2013 football action against the Weslaco East Wildcats. After Monday’s UIL Realignment meeting, it’s possible that the Greyhounds may not be playing the Wildcats next fall.
One thing coaches expect during the UIL’s biennial realignment is to expect the unexpected.
This year is no different.
As the reshuffling of the deck is unveiled Monday morning at the Region One Educational Service Center in Edinburg, San Benito officials are taking a wait-and-see approach as many schools are.
One thing that is known is the UIL’s new 6A conference, the state’s largest, will be in play and San Benito will join it. In a nutshell, teams in current 5A conferences will move up to 6A, 4A will be 5A, 3A will be 4A, and so on. Also, the term “Week Zero” is out; however, there will still be 11 weeks of play, just beginning with Week One and ending with Week Eleven.

SA Reagan and Permian as valley opponents… that’s right… those school districts have money to spend on students NOT LIKE SBCISD who spend money on Interim Superintendents, Interim Police Chief and Interim HC/AD… way to go San Benito Board Members … Gonzalez, Huerta, Huerta and Aguillera.
We will not be forgetting come May!
San Benito will rejoin 32-6a with 4 Brownsville schools hgns, Los Fresnos for an 8 team district. Non district will pit The Hounds against McMemorial and East so far. One more non district will be named. Harlingen hi plays SA Reagan and McHi plays Permian in non district affairs.
